Calcutta Cricket and Football Club is an Indian multi-sports club based in Kolkata, West Bengal. Founded in 1792 as a cricket institution, the club later expanded to include football and rugby sections following its merger with the Calcutta Football Club—the oldest football club in Asia, established in 1872—in 1965.
The rugby section makes CC&FC the oldest rugby institution founded outside the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The club's football section competes in the Premier Division of the Calcutta Football League, the fifth tier of the Indian football league system.
